The backbone of smarter mining: integrating production tracking with HELIX Dispatch

In the ever-demanding world of underground mining, achieving optimal efficiency and safety relies on seamless integration of various operational functions. The HELIX Dispatch software platform from MST Global has revolutionized mining operations by integrating production tracking with fleet management, offering a more cohesive, data-driven view of underground activities.

Integrating production tracking with fleet management
HELIX Dispatch’s integration with production tracking enables real-time visibility into mining operations. By combining location, crew, and task data, this system delivers a clear picture of what is happening underground, empowering dispatchers to make well-informed decisions that improve productivity and safety.

Key benefits of integrating production tracking include:
– Automatic haul cycle detection: Tracks cycles for LHDs and trucks (both underground and on surface), without requiring manual input.
– Seamless data transfer: Real-time material and load data flows from LHDs to trucks, improving load management and scheduling.
– Real-time tracking of drilling and bolting: Collects productivity metrics and associates them with task activity, helping to identify inefficiencies and optimize workflows.

Improving safety and performance
By combining operational data from production tracking with fleet management features, HELIX Dispatch provides an advanced layer of safety management. Supervisors can monitor not only task completion but also operator safety through digital checklists and real-time hazard alerts. This ensures the smooth running of operations while minimizing risks to personnel and equipment.

A comprehensive view of operations
With HELIX Dispatch, supervisors are provided with an integrated view of the entire mining operation—both underground and on the surface. The platform leverages HELIX 3D Connect, a powerful tool that enables the creation of a geospatial digital twin of the mine. This digital twin offers a dynamic, real-time view of equipment and personnel, enhancing decision-making with accurate, real-time data.

The power of data-driven decisions
With data collected from both fleet management and production tracking, HELIX Dispatch allows supervisors to track task progress, adjust schedules on the fly, and ensure that every piece of equipment is being utilized optimally. Real-time alerts notify operators when activities fall behind schedule, ensuring that operations stay on track and deadlines are met.

By integrating production tracking with fleet management, HELIX Dispatch is helping to drive smarter, safer, and more efficient mining operations—empowering dispatchers with the tools they need to make the best decisions for every shift.
